Nintendo: 'Fantastic projects' in works for Wii U

There are 'fantastic projects' currently being developed for Wii U, Nintendo of America's Reggie Fils-Aime has claimed.

Fils-Aime said Mario creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, and Metroid Prime creator, Retro Studios, are both working on big games.

He told GameTrailers that the new projects probably wouldn't be revealed until E3.

Fils-Aime said: "I could get myself fired by breaking all the news right here on your show... but rest assured Mr Miyamoto and the team and EAD are working on fantastic projects. Rest assured that Retro is working on a fantastic project.

"We've got big games in development that are coming and will continue to drive the install base of the system. All of that's going to be there."

Nintendo recently revealed a European release date for Wii U of 30 November.
